The Start

Where to start, I guess that's a little too late to be asking that question. I started this journey when I was 17 and my Grandmother gifted me with a Richard Simons Deal-a-Meal box. When no one else in my family had ever really confronted my weight issues it was this nudge that started me on this road. At the time I was 252lbs, I will never forget the day I started and seeing that number on that scale. Not knowing where I was going but knowing that I was going somewhere better than where I was is all I needed. I wanted to make a change for my future and no longer be that adolecent that was called "Baby Baluga" in elementry.

Wow, lots of deep sharing going on. Anyways where I am today is a different person who wants to help others get to their "better" place, whatever that means to them. I've been reading and following lots of fitness people, who to me are great inspirations, however not attainable for the regular 30 something, mother, wife, and professional. So my intention is to provide help to anyone who is lost and looking for that first step and guidance along the way.

Cheers for today.
